I’ll share the recipes with you super quick, but first, let’s talk about how to stock your own health mocktail bar.
How to Stock Your Healthy Mocktail Bar
🫧 Bubbles Are Your Best Friend
Mix things up with club soda, sparkling water, non-alcoholic kombucha, no-added-sugar ginger ale, ginger beer, or other low-calorie sodas. The fizz makes any drink feel more special and festive!
🍒 Fresh Fruit = Flavor + Polyphenols
Stock up on fresh or frozen:
- Pomegranate
- Cherries
- Berries (blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, cranberries)
- Citrus (lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruit) – zest and juice
- Tropical fruits (pineapple, mango, fresh peaches)
- Melon
🌿 Herbs and Spices for the Win
These add complexity AND antioxidants:
- Fresh mint, basil, rosemary, cilantro, or thyme
- Ginger & turmeric
- Cinnamon sticks
- Vanilla bean or pure vanilla extract
- Cardamom, anise
- Bitters – good for digestion too!
☕ Tea and Coffee
Add antioxidants and adaptogens with green tea, matcha, black tea, herbal teas (chamomile, rooibos, holy basil), or coffee.
🍬 Smarter Sweetener Choices
Although it’s a good idea to keep added sugars low for health benefits, when you do want a touch of sweetness, go for:
- Maple syrup (a little goes a long way)
- Simple syrup made with allulose
- Fresh, 100%, fruit juice
